Episode 20- Fish Sex Education

It’s already the 20th episode of The Plunge, and we’re still dredging up more and more of the clogs and confusions in our convoluted cultural discourse. We’ll check in with Betsy Devos, the widely hated Education secretary fresh off an awful TV interview. Marco Rubio tried to redeem himself with the teens after his disastrous CNN town hall performance by appearing on Youtube celebrity Jake Paul’s vlog. Chuck Todd refused to trade jabs with President Trump, and The New Yorker declared Robert Mueller a “style icon” in far too many words. For our main story, we’re going to discuss the recent BuzzFeed investigation into the NYPD’s police discipline records, then we will lay out the highly pragmatic case for defunding, disarming, and eventually abolishing the police. In the pop culture corner, we’re talking about Best Picture winner The Shape of Water, 20 years of The Big Lebowski, and the upcoming Netflix documentary on the noted glutton for punishment Rachel Dolezal. Dan will wrap us up with a big-time radio producer man story about what to do when you get a phone call from a white supremacist.
